I.E. pushing menu block down

I have been pouring over my code tirelessly these last several days trying to figure this out. In standards-compliant browsers, such as FireFox and Opera, my layout looks almost perfect. In IE, however, the menu block is pushed below the content block. Can y'all figure out what's going on?

IE has a 1 pixel rounding bug where percentages are concerned. If you put 2 elements together such as 2 floats at 50% you will find that they will drop down on every odd pixel as the page is resized. This is because of a rounding error where the page ends up being 100% + 1 (or 2) pixels where percentages get rounded incorrectly. Usually making one element 49.9% will cure the problem. (I didn't look at your code so it may not have been your problem but is worth mentioning anyway )
